Tyrone Mings signs new Aston Villa contract through to 2027
Mings, who was set to enter the final 12 months of his existing deal, has signed a new one-year extension at Villa. The Athletic reported last month that contract talks were scheduled with the defender, who was keen to remain at the club having joined from Bournemouth in 2019.

This season, Mings has played through the pain barrier after making his long-awaited return from a second anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and defying expectations from doctors that he would miss more than two months following another knee injury sustained against West Ham United in January. In the end, he returned inside four weeks, risking his own health in the resulting matches.
The England international's return from injury has contributed to what manager Unai Emery described as 'fantastic form', with Villa winning six of the previous eight games he had started and keeping four clean sheets.
Earlier this year, Mings assumed a role on the board of directors for Euro 2028, which will be hosted in the United Kingdom but has no plans to retire soon.
In total, the 32-year-old made 21 appearances across all competitions last season and is a valued leader by Emery. Mings will continue to provide competition for Pau Torres for a starting berth as Villa's left-sided centre-back.

We will preview every player on the Cardinals roster leading up to training camp. This is about QB Clayton Tune. The Arizona Cardinals report to training camp on July 22 and begin the process of preparing for the regular season, forming the roster and determining starting jobs and roles on the team. Leading up to the start of camp, we will take a look at every player on the offseason roster, their background, their contract, their play in 2024, questions they face and their roster outlook. This focuses on quarterback Clayton Tune. Clayton Tune background, 2024 season Tune enters his third NFL season. He was drafted in the fifth round in 2023 out of Houston. He has been the Cardinals' backup quarterback for two seasons. He had one start in 2023 preceding Kyler Murray's return from his ACL injury. Last year, the Cardinals traded for Desmond Ridder but Tune beat him out for the backup job in training camp and the preseason. Last season, he appeared in six games, playing 31 snaps. He mostly entered games for kneeldowns or quarterback sneaks. He completed his only two pass attempts for eight yards and had minus-four yards on seven rushing attempts, although he did pick up two first downs. Clayton Tune 2025 contract details, cap hit Tune will make $1.03 million in salary in 2025 if he makes the active roster. He will count $1.12 million against the salary cap. Questions he faces, roster outlook Tune find himself is a tough situation in 2025. The Cardinals signed veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett to a two-year contract this offseason with his 2025 salary fully guaranteed. Brissett will be Kyler Murray's backup. Also, in two seasons under head coach Jonathan Gannon, the Cardinals have never carried more than two quarterbacks on the 53-man roster, so Tune will have to show extraordinary growth to make the roster. He is currently a longshot to make the team but is probably a lock for the practice squad, considering how Gannon has spoken about Tune.

Real Betis confirm sale of rising star targeted by Aston Villa
Real Betis have announced that breakout star Jesus Rodriguez has left the club, after a deal with Como was agreed. The 19-year-old became a regular feature for Manuel Pellegrini in his debut season, and Betis have decided to cash in on their academy product. Rodriguez was part of a major turnaround for Betis midway through this season, with the 19-year-old's pace and direct running providing a breath of fresh air to their attack. In particular, performances against Real Madrid and in the Conference League showed his ability, despite losing his spot to Ez Abde in the final month of the season. Como and Real Betis reach agreement Betis had renewed Rodriguez's contract, and included a €50m release clause. Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool all sent scouts to watch Rodriguez on the left wing, but it was Aston Villa who opened talks for Rodriguez, with Betis demanding a €35m deal. Image viaAdvertisement Yet it is free-spending Como in Serie A who have got the deal done with Betis. After attempts to sign Yeremay Hernandez from Deportivo La Coruna reached a dead end, Como decided to move for Rodriguez though, and Betis announced the deal on Wednesday afternoon. Jesus Rodriguez signs five-year deal The 19-year-old winger has signed a five-year deal with Como until 2030. The agreement is believed to be worth in the region of €23m, with a further €6m available in variables, as per Matteo Moretto. Betis also retain a 15% sell-on fee, as Rodriguez follows in the footsteps of former academy teammate Assane Diao. Betis response to sale Meanwhile Betis are in the process of tying up a deal for Atletico Madrid playmaker Rodrigo Riquelme, which would cost them less than half of a the deal for Rodriguez. The rest of the money may well be put towards a deal for Antony, for whom negotiations with Manchester United continue.
